The senior officer responsible for Operation Yewtree , Detective Superintendent David Grey began investigating the brothel in 2013 when it was mentioned in another police report.

Det Supt Grey said a woman came forward in 2003 and reported that Savile had abused her during the 1970s following an appearance on Top of the Pops. The DJ died in 2011 when his terrible secret life became public knowledge.

Details of the alleged assault were never put on the police computer.

Det Supt Grey told the Daily Mirror: 'Although Savile and a pop group were known to frequent, that does not in itself show linkage or grounds to investigate further except with the benefit of hindsight.'

The Metropolitan Police had intelligence that a 1960s band attended the same brothel as Savile, pictured
